Functionalization of Nanoparticles with Tyrosine Hydroxylase : Biotechnological and Therapeutic Implications
Bezem, Maria Teresa (Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-30)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) er et viktig enzym for nervesystemet, fordi det katalyserer det første steget i syntesen av dopamin, noradrenalin og adrenalin. Nivået på TH og dopamin synker hos Parkinsons pasienter pga. den ... -
Relevance of Electrostatics for the Interaction of Tyrosine Hydroxylase with Porous Silicon Nanoparticles
Bezem, Maria Teresa; Johannessen, Fredrik Gullaksen; Kråkenes, Trond-André; Sailor, Michael J.; Martinez, Aurora (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the enzyme catalyzing the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of dopamine in the brain. Developing enzyme replacement therapies using TH could therefore be beneficial to patient groups with ... -
Stable preparations of tyrosine hydroxylase provide the solution structure of the full-length enzyme
Bezem, Maria Teresa; Baumann, Anne; Skjærven, Lars; Meyer, Romain; Kursula, Petri; Martinez, Aurora; Flydal, Marte Innselset (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-27)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamine neurotransmitters. TH is a highly complex enzyme at mechanistic, structural, and regulatory levels, and the preparation of ...
